Wholesale coffee built for hospitality
Good wholesale coffee has to do more than taste great on a cupping table. It has to stay consistent through a busy service, make sense for your menu and be something your team can execute every day. We offer freshly roasted coffee for espresso, drip, decaf and other service styles, with support choosing the right coffees for your operation.
Who we work with
Common Friends supports independent cafés, restaurants, bakeries, hotels, offices and hospitality groups throughout Chicago and the surrounding area. We also work with new concepts that are still choosing equipment, planning a bar or building a beverage menu from scratch.

More than roasted coffee
Our wholesale relationships can include commercial coffee equipment, repair and preventative maintenance, barista training, quality control, custom and private-label coffee, cold brew and ready-to-drink programs, plus matcha, chai, oat milk, filters and café supplies. That means fewer disconnected vendors and a more coherent beverage program.

Why Common Friends
We believe wholesale should feel like hospitality too. That means responsive, human support; practical recommendations; coffee roasted in Chicago; and help that extends beyond the delivery. We want to understand how your business actually works and build a program around it.
